Homeowner regrets installing a recirculating range hood instead of a ducted one that exhausts air outside, leading to poor ventilation efficiency in a small kitchen.
Recirculating range hoods do not remove heat, humidity, and odors as effectively as ducted hoods, and users may not be aware of the performance difference until after installation.
